Madison, Wisconsin's Too Fond of Flames have been at it since 2012, threading melodic death metal's lead-guitar lyricism through the structural DNA of metalcore. It's a well-worn pairing, but their decade-plus of activity suggests a band that has developed genuine craft and a loyal local following.
Too Much Said the Nature is a melodic black metal project from Finland, formed in 2021. They explore themes of nature through melodic black metal.
Dallas's Too Stoned bring a progressive dimension to stoner metal that sets them apart from the genre's more repetitive practitioners — extended structures, tonal experimentation, and the kind of psychedelic drift that rewards patient listening. Formed in 2020, they represent the Texas heavy underground's deep roots in riff worship and cosmic exploration.
Intense Heavy Metal out of Texas.
Los Angeles' Tool are one of the most acclaimed and enigmatic bands in rock history, crafting sprawling, meticulously constructed progressive metal compositions that draw equally from art, mathematics, philosophy, and the psychedelic experience. The creative vision of vocalist Maynard James Keenan, guitarist Adam Jones, bassist Justin Chancellor, and drummer Danny Carey has produced masterworks like 'Lateralus' and 'Aenima' that reward obsessive listening with layers of polyrhythmic complexity and emotional depth. Their thirteen-year gap between '10,000 Days' and 2019's 'Fear Inoculum' only intensified their mystique, and Tool remain one of the few bands whose every album release is treated as a cultural event.
Toolbox Terror is a death metal band from Genoa, active since 2017. Their name evokes DIY violence channeled through aggressive death metal from the Ligurian port city.
